Stress Management

Everyone encounters stress during their lives at one point— never-ending bills, demanding schedules, work, and family responsibilities— that can make stress seem inescapable and uncontrollable. Stress management skills are designed to help a person take control of their lifestyle, thoughts, and emotions and teach them healthy ways to cope with their problems.

Find the Cause

The first step in stress management is identifying your stressors. While this sounds fairly easy, it’s not hard to point to major changes or a lot of work piling up, chronic stress can be complicated, and most people don’t realize how their habits contribute to their stress. Maybe work piling up isn’t due to the actual demands of your job, but more so to your procrastination. You have to claim responsibility for your role in creating your stress or you won’t be able to control it.

Strategies for Stress Management

Once you’ve found what causes your stress, focus on what you can control. Eliminate realistic stressors and develop consistent de-stressing habits. Instead of watching TV or responding to texts in bed after work, take a walk, or read a book. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough quality sleep, will ease feelings of stress and help you relax.
Also, consciously try to set aside time for yourself and relaxation. Alone time can be whatever you need it to be. Some people like doing activities such as tai chi, yoga, or meditation, but you can also treat yourself to something simple, like taking a bubble bath, listening to music, or watching a funny movie.
Finally, don’t feel you must solve your stress alone. Reach out to your family and friends. Whether you need help with a problem or someone to listen, find someone who will reinforce and support you positively. If stress becomes chronic, don’t hesitate to seek the help of a therapist.
